But not once or twice migration activities have been hampered by several issues, one of which is gender. Gender and migration are often used as two things that are difficult to go hand in hand, because often the human rights of migrants are not given properly because of the issue of gender. Not a few women feel that in their migration activities they are excessively disadvantaged (Piper, 2005). Some of the disadvantages include unequal salaries, sexual harassment which is difficult to avoid and social rights which cannot be obtained in full (Piper, 2005). Many women get jobs in their new places, but these jobs are classified as lower-middle jobs where there is no need for such a large contribution to the country (Piper, 2005). This is thought to be caused by the double standard of stigma that applies in society where many people think that important jobs and high positions are more appropriate for men than women (Amelina & Lutz, 2019). In addition, women are also said to find it more difficult to migrate because everything depends on their spouses, what is meant by this is that women migrate with the status of someone's wife, which can be said that a woman's migration activities depend on the status of her husband and the sponsor provided (Piper, 2005).

This is very detrimental because it can be said that women who migrate do not have the opportunity to improve their lives equally as men. Limited migration activities also provide limits for women to seek a decent life, if their main goal is to migrate with the aim of changing their lives then this will be a very big obstacle.

However, this feminization is largely undocumented. Furthermore, the increasing participation of women in international migration will not necessarily provide most of them with decent wages, good working conditions, the necessary social insurance and comprehensive protection for migrants labor while working. 

Therefore, it is important to pay more attention to the employment situation of the growing number of female migrant workers. For successful global development, it must make full use of the potential of migrant women, and migration must be seen as one of the most important means of achieving this goal. However, it is clear that specialized institutional support at the national, regional and international levels is needed to achieve this goal.

It is true that gender relations in both sending and receiving societies have had a significant impact on creating regionally distinct gendered migration patterns. The idea that migration has become more gendered needs to be critically examined. In fact, over the past 50 years, the proportion of migrant women has stayed relatively constant at around 48%, making men the somewhat majority group. There are particular regional and sectoral areas of migration that have become increasingly feminized, however one cannot assert a blatant feminization of migration, as is the case with home care in Southeast Asia. We might therefore draw the conclusion that a more sophisticated and fair understanding of the decision-making processes of female migrants in the Global South is necessary.

The position of women migrant workers is the lowest position in terms of family regulations, global migration, the labor system, and work contracts. Women migrant workers who come from poor countries are often monitored and closely monitored so they run the risk of being isolated from their families, agencies and the state (Pedraza, 1991). The problem itself is related to the understanding of humans which is shaped by the interaction of different social locations, for example race, ethnicity, gender, class, geography, and age. Such interactions usually occur within the context of connected power systems and structures, such as laws, policies, state governments, and political unions. 

The widespread use of land for industrial and mining areas, in fact, is not able to create wide employment opportunities, especially for women. Many industrial activities only employ women at the labor level with low wages, because of the strong stereotype of women as painstaking but low-paid figures. This is exacerbated by the low accessibility of women to the framework of public services including; education, economic empowerment, health, and within the framework of political participation. This situation becomes a phenomenon of 'impoverishment' for women, or what is then referred to as the feminization of poverty (Piper & Roces, 2004). Women become powerless to gain access to economic resources in the midst of demands for economic needs.
